egypt's muslim door makers vote through a new constitution examining mubarak's rule strengthening islamic big writing protests those who believe the revolution has been betrayed. a political disconnect in germany allows people billion more euros in aid from greece taxpayers you responded for cheap. and israel and the us versus the world as a to dismiss palestine success at the un two thirds of countries david go ahead with statehood bid.

around the world and around the clock this is r.t. egypt dominated constitutional assembly has passed a new draft constitution the document is based on sharia law and it's triggered fresh protests across the country opposition activists say it's a betrayal of the revolution's ideals which journalist bell true has the details now from cairo. the problem really stems from the constituent assembly itself many of the liberal leftists and church representatives actually walked out of the constituent assembly but they said it was bullying from the islamist factions that dominated the constitution writing body the key issues is the sharia law which many say the articles about sharia law leave opens interpretation to a very ultra orthodox interpretation and in addition the rights groups are saying that some articles are really impinging on human rights for example the practice of military trials of civilians which is condemned on the international law is actually included in the constitution which has been a point of contention for revolutionaries since january two thousand and eleven

this document will go to president morsi today and we expect to see it go to referee referendum popular referendum in the next few weeks because they opposition forces have called for million man marches across egypt and also they are continuing their sixteen into her ear and we really will see probably more escalating violence we've seen on the streets recently because of this what they called a power grab by president morsi was referring to is a very controversial constitution but the ration we awarded himself sweeping powers rival protest groups are pro and anti more tea and more see who it is i've met on egypt streets who really thought she was a fair amount of violence in the last week including actually least one that really people are gearing up for more protests specially as we now have this draft constitution that people rightly god as illegitimate. true is in the thick of events in cairo and is tweeting the very latest developments she says watch towers are being set up to monitor the actions of protesters on their twitter feed to stay

up to date. well ti's tom barton has been in cairo throughout the day to protest he reports now on the consequences of instability. after days of around the clock protests a cleanup operation is going on here in the streets of tahrir square there's a lot of debris to be cleared up from over stones that were being ripped up from the pavements and thrown at the police this building here true the branches ripped off the trees and fires were started here by groups of largely young male protesters not representative of the overall movement but a spillover that caused a lot of violence in the streets around tougher a square the police built this hastily to stop the protesters getting further down we couldn't get anywhere near here throughout the days and nights of constant protest so it was the thick clouds of tear gas and the throwing stones understood

the fires being lit in buildings including these buildings a lot of the debris here just the remains of the damage that was being done but in those protests many casualties on both sides being dragged away choking on the take gas and with injuries from flying stones a number of protesters have died and many many more have been wounded in protests around egypt over the past few days big protests planned in the coming days it's very much not the end of the story here and it may not be the end of the violence that we've seen in these protests. from the egyptian current party says that if the new constitution gets through a referendum it would even further cement the islamists grip on power. if it gets a popular vote that means it's more or less the constitution that would have filled

there's another critical mass that would allow for an amendment however there's no mechanism to propose an amendment to the constitution after it passes through the referendum which means there has to be enough to change within parliament and the hands of the non islamic parties so that they can propose such a change which seems to be a questionable with how the parliament of the previous parliament was consequence to forty three percent of the muslim brotherhood and twenty seven percent of the salafist so even if there is a significant changes and you have a fifty fifty percent parliament. that still seems to be questionable that you would have such a change or a growing unrest in egypt as well as protests and libya and tunisia many analysts are now questioning just how much change the arab spring has brought to these

countries there's a gun a chicken found that their fear is that instead of a better and brighter tomorrow these nations may actually be sliding towards a darker future. less than two years after the gyptian people out all possible hosni mubarak mohamed morsi granted himself even more power than his predecessor head to the special the kray president morsi makes sure that no court challenges decisions. the president's power grab brought hundreds of thousands of egyptians onto the street with a shared says that their aspirations were being betrayed. unfortunately were replaced the corrupt regime of mubarak with a regime that is more strict and violence a lot of the draft version of egypt's new constitution inserts new islamic references into the country system of government and keeps in place an article defining the principles of korea as the main source of legislation when they're not a power there are moderates. in the united states in washington the various islamic

organizations that dominate in the us but when they come into power they put a lot of grip on power it is socially establish an islamic dictatorship the sense of betrayal and disappointment has not left the screen so tunisia the first country to witness an arab spring uprising unemployment there skyrocketed in the wake of the revolution and is now at eighteen percent of our demands are the same as those that have been made during the revolution we want jobs development in the region and the equitable sharing of wealth we also demand the dismissal of the governor who has done nothing for this region but it's comprised the development here as the arab spring unfolded less than two years ago the obama administration jumped on the bandwagon of the revolutions hoping to forge better alliances with the new leaders . in libya the u.s. prompted the change with airstrikes and arms supplies we've seen policymakers here in washington trying very hard to present the arab spring as a success story up until september washington had the revolution in libya check as

a foreign policy victory for president obama after all the u.s. provided most of the firepower which led to the capture and the. killing of moammar gadhafi only after the tragic attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador there did levy a comeback into a spotlight and the chaos that we see there now flies in the face of that success story narrative protests frequently disrupt operations at the main oil refinery in western libya while the new government in libya has little or no control over the numerous militia the civil war has left the country shredded to pieces with radical islam is taking advantage of the chaos so many in the post-revolutionary north african countries despair and violence have replaced the hopes of the arab spring in washington i'm going to check out. with more on the unrest in egypt and its background as well as the wider developments in the arab spring had come. now there's been a collective sigh of relief in athens as german lawmakers passed

a massive aid package for the indebted nation aside from releasing greeks more cash it's not she's interest rates today's payments and even pushes back austerity deadlines. peter all of the reports footing the bill all that happy. germany will be giving more financial aid towards greece we saw m.p.'s voting with four hundred seventy three saying yes to this aid package one hundred saying no and eleven abstentions now what this does mean no and it's been talked about throughout the week is in next year alone it could cost germany over seven hundred million euros but we are seeing the politicians at least giving their support financial support towards greece however that support isn't being particularly backed up by some of the electorate here people on the streets of germany suggesting that perhaps greece should be left to its own devices. that is enough because we won't

see this money ever again. at some point it should be stopped it's high time they were capable of helping themselves we're ok for now but sunday we could also going to broker this i'll expect north like no doubt to vegas is all you should be on and look we have already given at least so much more on the issues started are you a lot going on on the polluted side and there's nothing more is mine and i don't think that talking with them well they were people speaking just outside of the reichstag but that seems to be reflected across the country a recent poll taken by a german television station says that forty six percent of germans want to see greece left to default left up to its own devices however the politicians in here in germany have voted through this next round of financial aid but it wasn't smooth sailing we saw a rate very confident looking angle a merkel posting her vote but that belies some rumblings of revolt within her own party and own coalition the worst people saying that no no we are just going to rubber stamp any things put before us you've got to

prove this is in the best interests of germany of course all of this coming around as we enter what will be the campaigning season ahead of a general election here in germany next year so it does seem that the german politicians at least are on the side of angela merkel and trying to give more financial aid to greece so that as an increasing amount of the electorate who seem to be suggesting they should be cut loose. while you're across calling this latest great deal a breakthrough skeptics aren't convinced citing past failures and her deputy head of think tank palin says it's just another sticking plaster rather than a solution. the latter is expected from this package and i'm convinced that even members of the wounded are hoping they won't have to vote again. and and i think also if you look at the overwhelming support that they offered. they

might be stung reelection considerations in play here i think that if you look at the numbers and what is expected from this packets and reducing debt to g.d.p. ratio in greece to one hundred twenty percent by twenty twenty and the very unsustainable still and i believe unfortunately that this package is just another hope pleasure and a long term solution to greece's problems. joining us on to the world's most renowned whistleblower saying stan this new leaks just around the corner. do you think that something it's not just cable kates could ever happen again or predicts of course of the time next year we are all the way to. the top with. the new suns talks exclusively that's coming up after a short break. a

lovely quiet morning a family gently sleeps in district heights maryland when fifty armed f.b.i. agents stormed the house guns drawn despite the family pleading that they were unarmed the law enforcement agents opened fire on a weaponless teenager my asian huli thankfully sholay suffered minor flesh wounds but the key issue is that rates unknown as to why the house was stormed so here in america for no reason guys and black uniforms storm someone's house all alone and some rounds i left with no justification. explanation yes the family still doesn't know why this happened the f.b.i. is remaining silent you know i understand that there are some very bad individuals out there doing some very bad stuff at home but if you don't even really know whose house you're storming or why you're storming it then maybe you should lay off the

market. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. unfortunate and counterproductive that's how washington describes the u.n. general assembly historic vote despite more than two thirds of the world saying yes to palestine's bid for statehood israel's prime minister called the move meaningless on the palestinian people but their drive would bring no change their lives. these ladies certainly are downplaying the significance of this vote although we have seen them would use the kind of rhetoric that they've been acting over the past few weeks and months so they're no longer issuing the same kinds of threats that they were before presumably because they understand that this

will only further isolate them in the international community the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has repeatedly said that this vote does not change the reality on the ground the israeli position is that it is a unilateral step by the palestinians they accuse the resolution of being one sided both the united states and israel saying that it's not going to change the reality on the ground in this despite the fact that we're hearing in some quarters in the international community and certainly from palestinians themselves that it is a significant step at the same time there is a concern of course within israel that the palestinians will now use the new state has to go for example to the international criminal court in the hague where they can accuse israel of alleged crimes and of course these kind of threats in the past has prevented some israeli lawmakers as well as military traveling abroad because they're all concerned that there could be a wasted over such issues the united states through its unflinching support for israel has alienated

a lot of its old time allies in the united nations susan rice the american ambassador to the united nations after slamming the vote again reiterated the american position that it will not change anything on the ground today grand pronouncements. and the palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed today's vote should not be misconstrued by any as constituting eligibility for u.n. membership it does not this resolution does not establish that palestine is a state and yet talking to the average israeli on the street largely the response here is muted most israelis i've been talking to are actually biologic annoying this fundamental and historic occasion which is a far cry from the kind of reaction we witnessing on the streets in palestine. well as r.t. to towards the palestinian drive for greater independence this change from that of

last year let's take european countries for instance in twenty eleven palestinian sort and finally received membership in the un's cultural agency unesco majority of european states either abstained or objected the bid by the u.n. vote on thursday the czech republic became the only country to say no to the palestinian resolution and many of those who abstained last year decided to support them. well this is this this increased recognition this increase in status in the united nations is a manifestation of increased world international solidarity with the palestinian situation and this will actually bring hopefully a manifest improvement for the palestinians in respect of their access to international law and to have the rule of law applied to their relationship with the state of israel so here in gaza where we just witnessed an israeli military operation exacted on the gaza strip in which fifty nine children were killed seventeen babies were killed palestinians are hoping that this increase in legal

status will deter. a another or missile like that in which palestinians believe that the crime of facing war crimes committed against the population here in gaza in the west bank they have a situation not with such sort of military violence but they have on the ground direct military occupation they have according to palestinians and palestinian terminology an illegal colonise ation process with illegal settlements being built what the hope is in both bits of palestine that is left there will be some practical improvement albeit a small one for them and for their lives. ramsey baroud editor at the palestine chronicle dot com says israelis gave palestinians no room for maneuver forcing them to turn to the united nations. well netanyahu comes and says the only way of peace is direct negotiations from the point of view or someone who doesn't really

understand what's going on it sounds reasonable enough it sounds logical enough but the problem is israel has done everything in its capacity and its power to undermine any chances and any prospects for that for the so-called peace process to achieve anything since palestinians and israelis have been talking twenty years ago until today look at the reality on the ground the settlements have doubled the number of settlers have trouble the number of wars that have been lost lodged against palestinians have been so many of them thousands of palestinians have lost their lives what israel have done to give the palestinians any sense of hope that in fact sitting face to face and a negotiating is going to achieve anything as long as the israeli army is roaming palestinian streets arresting people killing people you know this is not going toward. the historic u.n. vote and prospects for peace are also the topics up for fierce debate the latest

addition of across talk is a taste of what's coming up view it seven thirty pm g.m.t. . that's not the way to run an issue of a people who want to have a homeland if people want to have a homeland it's not enough to have declaration you have to build your nature towards that i do think that romney has complete lucidity of mind he is clearly not suffering from outside but i'm not sure why he's saying the problem is the power students won't negotiate if you read through the twenty year record the one conclusion you reach the outstanding conclusion is nothing happened it's like the children's song the wheels on the bus go round and round and the reason nothing happened is because the palestinians. let's apply international law and resolve the conflict and the israeli side said we reject international law we're going to decide this resolution the conflict on the terms that suit us.

the world's top whistleblower sunshines dismissed speculation that his health is deteriorating instead he revealed to r.t. that they will be a new sensation explosion next year which he promises will send shock waves around the world. smith spoke to the wiki leaks a prenup. as any journalist working in london now is i'm pretty familiar with standing outside the ecuadorian embassy waiting for julian assange is to come out and talk from the balcony just to my right here but this evening i've been inside an embassy to talk to today and i saw he's recently written a book a book called cypherpunks freedom and the future of the internet and that's what he really wants to talk about at the moment and we did talk about that we talked about how he sees this increase in state surveillance is hugely damaging for the entire fabric of society how companies and governments can minute the internet for data

that is placed there willingly but unwittingly boy citizens all over the world let's just listen into a little bit of what he said about that we all think of. some kind of rome where we can throw ideas and communications with writers and books and exist somewhere out there and actually there exists. who are physically controls that controls the room of our ideas and communications and whoever is able to sit almost communications channels can intercept entire nations. julian assange has been cooped up in the embassy behind me for more than five months now and you may have heard reports in the media in the last couple of days that he's developed along condition but in fact his people are saying that there is no lung condition although he does have quite a pervasive cough actually looks a bit pale quite thin but he seems to be in high spirits but the possibility the

specter of a serious illness has raised questions about what the government of this country would do if he was ill with their loud medical help to go into the embassy would if he had to get out to go to hospital would they use that as an excuse to arrest him he at this current moment doesn't want to talk about his personal situation he's much more interested in talking about the book that he's just read. off the back of a program that he made for me but nevertheless there are concerns about his general health when i asked him whether there could ever be as bleak as significant as cable gate of which we've of course just seen the two year anniversary he said that we should watch this space do you think that something as large as cable kate could ever happen again i let it would have a similar impact. play next year. what's the time next year we'll go into it but. we should watch out for that you can see my whole interview with today and later on in the program indeed laura smith there and her full
